Books Reading Informative Posts Making Memories Full to the Brim GiveawaysUnique Kids' Crafts Life and Family

By the way, I'm Janelle, your hostess here at Brimful Curiosities. I'm a stay-at-home mom to two small kids. And, in case you didn't guess by the subtitle, I like to read children's books with my kids and blog about our reading experiences. We also spend time crafting, exploring the outdoors and doing all the normal things families do together like building huge block towers, conducting strange Santa experiments, and turning bananas into ghosts.

One of the regular features here is my Full to the Brim - Kid's Book Giveaway List, published each Friday. If you like children's books and entering giveaways, you'll probably want to take a look at my lists. Additionally, my kids and I often post a fun, book-related craft each week, and I try post a photo for Wordless Wednesday each week. Sometimes I post our favorite reads on the weekends. Other than that, my posts vary ranging from reviews to personal observations.

Today my family is watching the live stream video of the Decorah Eagles (http://www.ustream.tv/decoraheagles). The eggs should hatch anytime! (Update 3/4: A couple of the eggs have now hatched. The eaglets are adorable!) Now that's something to party about.

This is my third year participating in the party, and I've been blogging since 2008. If you want to know more about me you can read my previous party posts 2010 and 2009. Want to correspond via twitter? Find me here: @iambrimful

The Ultimate Blog Party is hosted by 5 Minutes for Mom. Swing by the 5MFM site for more details and to join the party. Thanks for visiting!

Thanks for stopping by at Science Fiction Mommy! Kids books interest me too (they have to, considering I have a two-year-old.) In addition to Sci Fi, hubby and I co-wrote a children's Christmas book that I'm finally starting to get polished enough for submission. I'm hoping it'll find a home sometime this year.
